- Check your radiator cap. The TR3's radiator neck is a little longer then
standard. If you do not have a the correct cap, it will not seal. You
will lose water & overheat. Moss and TRF both carry the correct cap.
- You should havea baffle around the front od your radiator.
- It your timing is off you can run hot
- Are your radiator fins clean and not smashed?
- When is the last time you flushed the cooling system?
